​Immediately After Your Procedure

​

• You can expect the treated area to feel tender, slightly swollen, or tight for the first few days. This is completely normal and part of the healing process.

• If a light scab or crust forms, do not pick, peel, or scratch it. Allow the skin to exfoliate naturally—premature removal can lead to pigment loss and uneven healing.

 

Healing & Moisturizing

​

• Keep the area lightly moisturized using a rice grain-sized amount of the provided healing sealant.

• Apply 2–3 times daily (morning, night, and mid-day) for at least 7 days.

• Use a clean cotton swab or sanitized fingertip to apply—especially for brows or lips.

 

What to Expect During Healing

​

• Brows and eyeliner may start to exfoliate within 3–5 days; lips may take slightly longer.

• Brows and eyeliner typically complete their surface healing in 7 days.

• The color will soften by 30–40% from what you see immediately after your session. This is normal.

• The final healed results will appear softer, more natural, and take a few weeks to fully settle.

 

Important Healing Restrictions (First 7–14 Days)

​

To protect the treated area and your results:

​

❌ Do not expose the area to:

​

• Direct sun or tanning beds (for at least 1 month)

• Water immersion (e.g. baths, swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms)

• Heavy sweating, gym workouts, or excessive heat

• Makeup, skincare creams, scrubs, or ointments (except your healing sealant)

• Direct shower spray or facial cleansing over the area

 

✅ Do:

​

• Avoid touching the treated area with unwashed hands

• Keep the area dry and clean

• Use a clean pillowcase

• Let the skin flake or exfoliate naturally

​​

Note: No makeup should be applied on or near the area until fully healed.

​

Long-Term Care & Maintenance

​

• Use a high-SPF sunscreen when exposed to the sun—this helps prevent fading over time.

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, or chemical peels on the treated area.

• If you undergo laser treatments, MRIs, or chemical peels, inform your provider that you have cosmetic tattooing.

• Be aware: Some lasers may alter pigment color if not properly disclosed to your provider.

 

Touch-Up & Color Boosts

​

• To maintain color and shape, a touch-up is recommended within 1 year of your initial procedure. Regular maintenance will help keep your results fresh and natural-looking.

 

Blood Donation Notice

​

• If you donate blood, the Red Cross requires a 12-month waiting period after any tattoo procedure—including permanent makeup.

• Following these guidelines will support proper healing and the best long-term results. If you have any questions during healing, don’t hesitate to reach out.
